City of Kissimmee Secures $10 Million Grant forNew Air Traffic Control Tower

The City of Kissimmee has secured a $10 million Federal Aviation Administration grant to support the construction of a new air traffic control tower at Kissimmee Gateway Airport. The project follows years of planning, coordination, and advocacy, and will replace the airport’s aging control tower with a modern facility designed to improve operational efficiency, enhance safety, and provide upgraded working conditions and visibility for air traffic controllers serving the region.

The new control tower is expected to include updated technology, improved operational capabilities, and a modern design that reflects the airport’s growing role in Central Florida’s aviation sector. The project is part of the city’s broader commitment to investing in Kissimmee Gateway Airport as a center for business aviation, pilot training, tourism, and regional economic growth. Construction timelines and design updates will be shared as the project progresses.
